How do I Put Creek Rock on My Foundation?

- Clean the foundation surface to remove any dirt or debris.

- Check for any cracks or holes in the foundation and repair them.

Step 2: Create a Base Layer

- Apply a layer of mortar or cement to the foundation.

- While the mortar is still wet, place a layer of chicken wire or hardware cloth over the mortar.

Step 3: Dry Stack the Rocks

- Start stacking the creek rocks on the foundation.

- Place the rocks staggered-fashion and overlap them to create a stable structure.

- Use rocks of different size to add visual interest.

- As you stack the rocks, use a level to ensure that the wall is level.

Step 4: Point Between Rocks

- Mix a mortar or cement mixture and fill the gaps between the rocks.

- Tool the mortar to a smooth finish.

Step 5: Cure the Mortar

- Allow the mortar or cement to cure for the recommended time.

- Keep the area moist during curing to help the mortar strengthen.

Step 6: Add a Cap

- To finish off the project, you can add a coping or cap to the top of the wall. This will help protect the wall from water damage.

Step 7: Seal the Rocks

- Apply a sealer to the rocks to help protect them from weathering and staining.
